Abstract
This study analyzes Ibn Jinni’s role and contribution to Arabic semantics by
surveying his ideas and opinions presented in his books, such as “al
Muhtasab”- The Treasurer-, “al-Hasa’is”-The Particularity-, and “al- Munsif”-The
Just Man. It discusses Ibn Jinni’s opinions on certain issues of semantics, such
as, social semantics, morphological semantics, phonetic semantics, and
grammatical semantics. It also points out Ibn Jinni’s views on the issue of
utterance and meaning and the evidence that was used by Ibn Jinni to support
his ideas and views. The study also presents Ibn Jinni’s life and the effect his
teachers had on him as a linguist.
